Cheng Muyun had his own reasons for being injured, and Xu Zhuohua didn't like owing favors, so she had no choice but to turn away.
With a mix of helplessness and indulgence, she said, "I can't do anything about you being in pain here. I might as well go out for a walk with you and distract yourself."
It just so happens that the Xu family is preparing the dowry. Xu Zhuohua saw some top-notch treasures in this house yesterday. If she gives Cheng Muyun a little hint, would the Xu family dare not include them in the dowry?
hey-hey.
Although Xu Zhuohua felt that her behavior was no different from that of a robber, the Xu family treated the original owner so badly and even wanted to burn her to death, which was extremely despicable!
We must make them bleed a little more.
Cheng Muyun raised an eyebrow, seemingly seeing through Xu Zhuohua's little scheme, and stood up. "Alright, it's a good opportunity for me to see the scenery of the Xu residence in Dongzhou."
Springtime is delightful, with green trees drooping like children, a gentle breeze blowing, and clear blue skies and water—it's so relaxing.
The Xu residence was very large. Xu Zhuohua and Xinghua walked hand in hand in front of each other, completely disregarding the injured Cheng Muyun behind them.
Zhang Qi pouted and asked, "Young Marshal, why do I feel that Miss Xu is a little different?"
Cheng Muyun asked, "How is it different?"
Zhang Qi scratched his head. "I can't quite put my finger on it, but it feels different from the young ladies in their secluded chambers. What young lady holds hands with her maid?"
Cheng Muyun smiled but didn't say anything.
Xu Zhuohua finally saw what she considered to be the most valuable thing.
It was in the study behind the main hall, which Xu Zhuohua saw when she went to the main hall yesterday.
In the center of the room stands a jade ornament, carved from a single piece of jadeite. The green leaves and white stems of the vegetable are carved using the natural color of the jadeite, a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
The study door was open, and Xu Shinong was sitting inside, with the eldest son, Xu Jixiao, beside her.
Xu Zhuohua glanced back, and Cheng Muyun walked over, immediately spotting the jade cabbage.
"Wow, I didn't expect to see a jade cabbage!"
The sound reached the room, and Xu Shinong and Xu Jixiao were on high alert.
Cheng Muyun walked lazily into the house and circled the jade cabbage. "I never expected my uncle to have such a treasure."
Xu Shinong stood up. "It's nothing valuable, just something to create an atmosphere. Nephew, you can take it if you like."
He was just being polite, but Cheng Muyun is not a reasonable person.
Cheng Muyun glanced at Xu Zhuohua, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Haha, thank you very much, Uncle. It just so happens that the old man likes it. I was just worried about not having a gift."
Zhang Qi immediately stepped forward and stuffed the jade cabbage, which looked like a mineral water bottle, into his pocket.
Xu Shinong and Xu Jixiao were dumbfounded. This... a scholar encountering a soldier, there's no way to reason with him.
“Speaking of which, it’s the old man’s birthday, and the young lady should also send a gift. What else is there?” Cheng Muyun strolled around the study.
Xu Zhuohua followed behind him, and when he reached the Ru kiln sky-blue oval narcissus basin without any patterns, he coughed softly.
Cheng Muyun immediately stopped in his tracks. "Oh my, this color is so fresh and elegant. The old man will definitely like it."
Xu Zhuohua smiled slightly. That was the official kiln of the Song Dynasty, the Ru kiln. Her university professor had mentioned that there were not many Ru kiln works that had survived to this day. This narcissus basin was made with superb craftsmanship and was a masterpiece among masterpieces.
"This..." Xu Shi Nong was speechless.
"Why don't we just add it to the dowry? What do you say, Uncle?"
Xu Shinong could only nod, "Okay."
Cheng Muyun laughed heartily: "The more dowry the young lady receives, the better."
